Valentine, a student model in Geneva, struggles with a possessive boyfriend and a troubled family. When she runs over a dog, she discovers that its owner, a retired judge, is illegally wiretapping and eavesdropping on his neighbors’ phone calls. Although Valentine is outraged, she develops a strange bond with the judge – and as the two become closer, she finds herself caught in the middle of events that could change her life.
It is an almost supernatural contrivance: brooding on coincidence, fate and the insoluble mystery of other people’s lives…
★★★★★
[Kieślowski’s] microcosmic scrutiny of the world, sans judgment, suggests all things happen at once.
★★★★
Stunningly beautiful, powerfully scored and immaculately performed, the film is virtually flawless, and one of the very greatest cinematic achievements of the last few decades. A masterpiece.
